Commentary

The न of a कृत् affix is not changed to ण , though preceded by an उपसर्ग having in it a cause of change, when the affix is added to the following verbs - भा 'to shine', भू 'to be', पू 'to purify', कमि 'to be brilliant', गमि 'to go', प्यायि 'to increase', वेप 'to shake'.
This rule is an exception to 8.4.29. Thus :-

- भा - प्रभानम्, - परिभानम्
- भू - प्रभवनम्, - परिभवनम्
- पू - प्रपवनम्, - परिपवनम् ॥

Ishti:-The verb पूञ् is to be taken and not the verb पूङ् ॥ In the case of the latter the change is obligatory, as, प्रपवणं सोमस्य ॥

- कमि - प्रकमनम् - परिकमनम् ॥
- प्यायि - प्रप्यायनम्, - परिप्यायनम् ॥
- गमि - प्रगमनम् - परिगमनम् ॥
- वेप् - प्रवेपनम् - परिवेपनम् ॥

Vart:- The above roots, even when in the Causative, do not change the न of their krit-affix. As प्रभापनम्, परिभापनम् ॥
